Dave’s TGIF Weekly #1

Greetings gang! Welcome to my first edition of Dave’s TGIF Weekly. The weather is gorgeous here in LA and its time for a weekend. With all the turmoil in the financial markets some movie investors have gotten a bit skiddish. This means you really need to have a strong package with an escape plan (distribution etc) for the investors to feel warmly about your project. Sale estimates are always a welcome addition.

Never fear, however. Even through the “Great Depression” movies were still being made. In hard times the public love to turn to entertainment such as movies to get away from it all. So keep at it!

On another note, I am going to add another giveaway to our already successful Link to Us contest. Sign up now to our free newsletter and you will be eligible to win a Wacom Intuos Tablet! We will run this promotion for 60 days. In the newsletter you will receive tips and tricks plus discounts for great gear and notices about seminars, live events and our upcoming mastery classes! Visit here to sign up!

Enjoy your weekend! Cheers, Dave
